My invention relates to new and useful improvements in necktiedispensing packets or wrappers, more particularly for pointedfour-in-hand neckties and has for its objects to provide a packetwherein the tie may snugly fit, which will prevent the curling of thepoints and the wrinkling of the tie as in the present manner of wrappingsaid ties, and will reduce the number of folds necessarily made inwrapping the tie for the customer. When made of a transparent materialsuch as paper or cellophane, in addition to the above named features,the tie may be displayed therein to a prospective customer and the tierendered less subjected to handling and soiling. The cheapness ofmanufacture and the ease of use are also other features of theinvention.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, my invention consists in the novel featureshereinafter set forth in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawingand more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing in which numerals of like character designatesimilar parts throughout the several views, and in which the preferredform of my wrapper is shown:

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a flat sheet of transparent material suchas paper or cellophane, cut to form an envelope when folded on thedotted lines, and in which envelope one end thereof is pointed toconform to the pointed end or ends of a four-in-hand necktie.

Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the flap side or rear face of the sameafter it has been folded as above said.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the front face of the same, showing apointed end four-in-hand necktie therein through the front sheet of theenvelope.

1 represents the front sheet of the packet or envelope, 2 and 3 pointedflaps thereof adapted to be folded upon each other to form a pointed endon the envelope. 4 represents a flap on the shorter end of the envelope,and 5 a longitudinal flap which forms the main portion of the rearsurface of the envelope and which has thereon a pointed end 6 adapted tobe tucked between front sheet 1 and pointed flaps 2 and 3 when theenvelope has been folded. 7 represents another longitudinal flap on theenvelope and constitutes the chief flap opening thereinto. The dottedlines in Fig. 1 indicate the foldings of the sheet to form the wrapper.A folded pointed four-inhand tie is indicated in Fig. 3 as snugly fittedwithin said envelope and showing through the transparent front sheetthereof. Flaps 2 and 3 may be pasted or otherwise fastened together ormay be left as independent flaps.

After the sheet has been folded to form the packet as in Figs. 2 and 3,it is ready for use, and the necktie folded to the required length,first by doubling it upon itself and placing both ends together and thenby again folding to make it of suitable size to slip into the envelope.The tie is then slipped into the envelope either through flap '7 ifflaps 2 and 3 are pasted together or if the longitudinal flaps areclosed then through flaps 2 and 3 which may be left detached from eachother. In either case, the pointed tie ends fit into the pointed end ofthe packet. The tie is delivered to the customer in the packet. If atransparent packet is used, the tie may be marketed by the manufacturerin such a packet and the retail merchant may display the same to histrade in the original packet and deliver the tie to the customer in thesame wrapper.

It is preferred to make the packet with flaps 2 and 3 pasted togetherand with the pointed end 6 of flap 5 free so that it may be slippedbetween sheet 1 and flaps 2 and 3 and free to slide between said sheetand flaps so as to make it easier to place the tie in the wrapperthrough flap opening 7, although the packet may be made with flaps 2 and3 independent of each other, and particularly when they are to be usedas the flap openings into the envelope with flaps 6 and '7 pastedtogether. The tie is, of course, inserted either through flap opening'7, which is preferred, or openings through flaps 2 and 3, the openingused depending upon the construction of the wrapper as above said. Whenopening through flap '7 is used flap 6 gives way as its end 5 is free toslide as above explained, and this makes it easier to insert the tieinto the packet.

Having thus fully disclosed my invention what I claim and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A wrapper for a pointed four-in-hand necktie comprising an envelopelonger than it is wide, pointed at one end in manner adapted to receivethe pointed end of said necktie, and having its sides tapering towardsthe other end, and a flap opening along one of said sides.

2. A wrapper for a pointed four-in-hand necktie comprising an envelopelonger than it is wide and pointed at one end in manner adapted toreceive the pointed end of said necktie and with said pointed end formedby loose flaps of said envelope material, and with said envelope havingits sides tapering towards the other end, and a flap opening along oneof said sides.

3. A wrapper for a pointed four-in-hand necktie comprising an envelopelonger than it is wide and pointed at one end in manner adapted toreceive the pointed end of said necktie and with said pointed end formedby flaps fastened together, and with said envelope having its sidestapering inwardly towards the other end, and a flap opening along eachof said sides.

4. A wrapper for a necktie comprising an envelope longer than it is wideand tapered longitudinally with one end shorter than the other end, flapopenings at both sides, and a flap opening at one end.

flaps is elongated at the pointed end of the envelope, and with saidelongated portion of said last named flap adapted to be slidablyinserted into the pointed end of said envelope.
